Around Town

Hang out!

There is plenty of activities to do at the SRC like boxing or dancing classes for free.

There is a shopping center and a mall not that far from campus.

There are many different activities that CSUN offers, you can find them online. Once a year they have a concert with known artists. There is also an event called Matador Nights which is like a carnival with music provided by a DJ. These are thrown every few months.

I had no fun time. I tranferred in 2006 Fall semester from Mission College and I Graduated from CSUN in Spring 2008. My goal was to complete my BA as soon as possible because I was having a baby in Sep 2008. I had no time to see or do fun things at school... but study,go to class and take exams.

Associated Students always plans fun events for their students, such as Matador Nights, The BIG SHOW, and bus rides to movie screenings (such as the upcoming Iron Man 3 screening that takes students to see the movie at El Capitan Theatre for only 5 bucks). There's also the new Student Recreation Center which offers various types of classes.

CSUN is located approximately 45 minutes from most things in Los Angeles. You can hop onto the 405 into the West Side to spend a day at the beach at the Santa Monica pier or at the Venice Boardwalk. You could drive on over to Studio City for unique dining and thrift store shopping. Over in Hollywood you can experience Los Angeles like a true tourist along the Hollywood Walk of Fame or at the Chinese Theater. If you are into Art you could go to any of the internationally recognized museums such as Los Angles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), or to Bergamont Station for free exhibits. Artists with international fame show in Los Angeles year around and these museums are a great opportunity to get close to work you may never have the chance to see again! If being indoors isn't for you there are hundreds, yes hundreds, of hiking trails throughout the canyons, you can even hike up to the famous Hollywood sign. There is plenty to do in Los Angeles no matter what you're interests are!

There is alot of activity that goes on in school, there is sports and you will experience some of the greatest university rivalries once you get in, study abroad programs, alot of groups/clubs on campus from cultural to health clubs.

There are tons of clubs, Greek organizations, and sports activities. We have a game room with tournaments, pool tables, arcades, etc. The new gym is amazing!
